I got my schedule for ConClave this weekend so if you’re going to be at the con (it’s in Detroit) my concert will be Saturday at 1:00pm, so don’t miss it! Also, I’ll be on a Doctor Who panel Friday at 8:00pm and a new media panel Saturday at 9:00pm. All the con’s info can be found at http://www.conclavesf.org

Also, I got my replacement DVDs for the Live DVD that I tried to release at FuMPFest and guess what? They don’t work! So now I need to figure out why, what went wrong, and what animal I need to sacrifice to which Voodoo deity in order to make this project a reality.

Festival Supreme (the comedy and music festival started by Tenacious D) is having a theme song contest and I entered. You can listen to and vote for my entry here.

TheyÃ¯Â¿Â½re giving away a prize for Ã¯Â¿Â½fan favoriteÃ¯Â¿Â½ in addition to the grand prize, and I suspect that has to do with the number of votes. Unfortunately voting requires you to allow the TalentHouse apps to talk to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, respectively. But if you donÃ¯Â¿Â½t mind that, or donÃ¯Â¿Â½t mind deleting it later I would really appreciate a vote. I voted for me just to see what it was like and nothing blew up or bled so it wasnÃ¯Â¿Â½t that bad. DonÃ¯Â¿Â½t let me be the only vote for my song for long. That would just be sad.

Just a quick note to let you know that the full-length version of “Paywutchyalike” is the free Song of the Month over at http://www.devospice.com. This is the 8 ½ minute version which is also available on the great Luke Ski’s new album 4th Grade Talent Show. If you don’t have that album yet but want to hear the full version now you can!

Note: the Play button still isn’t working on the site. In fact, lots of things are broken on the site. I know. It’s due for a complete overhaul but I have to finish the FuMP’s overhaul first. For now, just use the Download button to listen to the song.

And since I haven’t plugged it in a while I’m still doing Manic Mondays every week. My weekly 15-minute or so comedy podcast can be heard for free at http://www.manicmondays.net. It’s also available in the iTunes podcast directory and wherever finer podcasts are served.

Some time ago the great Luke Ski and I were on a Skype call with a few other people and while they were talking about money Luke said "paywutchyalike" in his best Humpty Hump impression and a parody idea was born.

This song also features cameo appearances by Insane Ian, Shoebox of Worm Quartet, Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, and Carrie Dahlby's son Alex. Bonecage did the initial music, then I flushed it out, and Shoebox chimed in with a piano bit that you won't hear in this version of the song.

Yes, there are two versions. Just like the original there is a radio edit that fades out after the 3 1/2 minute mark. The full 8 1/2 minute version of the song will be on my next album. If you don't want to wait that long you can hear it on Luke Ski's new album 4th Grade Talent Show.
